Sometimes it's a person with a thick accent possibly in India, other times it's a woman with a slight accent possibly originating in the Philippines. When they call they say that you are involved in a criminal case with charges pending against you. They will even give you a summary of charges and what you can expect (jail time) but you won't be able to nail them down to specifics - because they are making everything up. That's not saying that they won't be getting more sophisticated in the future however - probably will, in fact. Sad but true.
After scaring you with legal phrases, big, technical words and sometimes a confusing summary of something you supposedly had done they will assert that all charges can be dropped - for a fee!
Of course!
So if you get a call from this number or any other number stating you are going to jail - but that paying them money will make it go away - DON'T SEND MONEY - IT'S A SCAM!
